The front entrance to Farm Cottage 1 is from the Farm Lane straight into the kitchen/dining room (with oven, hob, fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher and large coat/boot cupboard). A door from the kitchen leads into a light, airy sitting room (equipped with open fire, double sofa bed for occasional guests, CTV, DVD) with views out on to the main garden facing south.

A partially open staircase leads from the sitting room upstairs where there is a double bedroom with views over the garden; two twin bedrooms (zip’n’link to double), bathroom (with bath, over bath shower, w.c. and basin) and an additional shower room (with shower cubicle, w.c. & basin).

Car parking for two cars is at the side of the cottage.

Weeks stay at farm cottage 1. Very impressed with Aileen Golding, who went out of her way to assist

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was very well equipped and very comfortable. Olwen was excellent in the office assisting us with places to go sightsee. The only criticism I have is that the electricity was very expensive for just a week.

Melfort Club was brilliant very helpful lovely and kind to all of us throuout our stay. Thankyou everyone

A Holiday with a Difference

As a long term member of Melfort Village. This stay had a purpose. Scattering my late husbands ashes and planting a tree in his memory. The melfort team helped me all way through. And kindly donated a bench in his honour. Family friends including many locals we have come to know over many years, came along also. Weather wise it was the best day of our stay and beautiful things were said, a wee dram ( or rather a full bottle) of Jura was drunk, bagpipes were played. My husband loved Melfort and his spirit is now free to walk the ridges he so longed to do and be with the wildlife he loved to watch. I could not have asked for more. And as always the warm courteous staff who have become our friends could not have done more. I am proud to be a member and love my 'wee bit of heaven on earth'

Beautiful spot near Oban

A great base location for walks, visiting islands and distilleries. The resort village offered a memorable musical evening and the fine dining offered at beautiful Melfort House, within walking distance, was a wonderful experience.

Lovely stay

Our stay at Melfort was wonderful. The staff at reception were excellent, very friendly, always helpful and it was a pleasure to meet such lovely people. The cottage was nice and facilities available were perfect. The location was stunning, peaceful and each day was a joy. The children had so much to do. We hope to be back next year and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to all the staff at Melfort Village!

Week break in June

Cottage was well equipped and comfortable, more so than we expected. Good on site facilities but a car is a must to explore further afield. Plenty to do locally: golf, fish, walking, historic sights garden and trips to Mull etc via Oban.

Melfort Village Farm Cottage1

This resort is in a great position to enjoy the many lovely places on Scotland's west coast. Olwyn provided lots of information to ensure visitors could get the best experience during their stay. The opportunity to have a log/coal fire was much appreciated during a very cold week. The only downside was an almost £60 bill for electricity. The staff are very helpful.

A week in September

We had a very enjoyable stay at Melfort Village. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. The only 2 slightly negative points were: on arrival at reception, the welcome was rather offhand; and the water pressure in the main shower was very low.
